Reviews

"The reader will enjoy John Barnes' lively guidance through SPARK. With panache he combines rigorous clarity and a great sense of fun." from the foreword by Bernard Carre "I've long watched for an approachable discussion of SPARK. This is it. ... The community and SPARK have long deserved to meet each other on such friendly terms." James Sutton, Lockheed "This book will be indispensable to the serious SPARK user, since it includes a very accessible definition of the language and provides all the necessary background material on static analysis as performed by the tools." Phil Thornley, British Aerospace
